Thanks for the J.C. update. I truly like him so very much.
He was in Houston about 6-8 years ago and I held up a yard sign from the '92 Nat. convention that was blue with a huge yellow light bulb and read "J.C. Watts." He came unglued when he saw it... said "where did you get that?" Needless to say it was easy to get it signed and a few pictures with him and the sign. It was a fun morning.
I've run into Democrat OK's that voted for him. He seems to attract both parties... because he's so genuine. When he left the U.S. House, I still remember his comment when asked about ever running for office again. He said something to the effect that he was not shutting the door to politics just because he was not running for Congress again. hmmmmm
J.C. is so popular around the Country and we are all praying that he will run as our Governor candidate in 2006! I love to hear him speak. He spoke about sacrifice and how we are all called to sacrifice for our State and our Country. He used to use Country but Friday night he kept referring to Oklahoma and how much he missed the State and how we can work to make it a better State. It was awesome and everyone there was excited to have him back in the State unless they were planning to run for Governor and believe they saw those plans go up in smoke.
